mtbe bioremediation Articles

ABSTRACT: Evidence is mounting, from laboratory and field studies, that oxygen plays a role in the bioremediation of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). Our experience with a number of commercial applications of peroxygen, in the form of Oxygen Release Compound (ORCâ), correlates the provision of enhanced aerobic conditions with enhanced MTBE biodegradation. Subsequent laboratory and field ...

The following graph illustrates the analytical results of a bio-treatability study conducted on MTBE. A two-liter groundwater sample was collected from the client's service station in western Pennsylvania. We tested three different combinations of microbe and nutrient products in order to determine which products are the most effective. The results indicate that MTBE can be bioremediated by our ...

Site Summary ORC Advanced releases a maximum of 17% by weight of oxygen into a saturated area. Such a high release of oxygen can effectively reduce high concentrations of contaminants, allowing for successful bioremediation of source areas. A petroleum contaminated site in Virginia had TPH and MTBE contamination at levels much higher than MCLs. The source area contained concentrations of TPH and ...

ABSTRACT: A patented magnesium peroxide compound was recently employed at an underground storage tank facility to increase the available oxygen in the groundwater for the biodegradation of fuel hydrocarbons. The objective of this remedial effort was to substantially reduce the dissolved-phase concentrations of BTEX and MTBE and to arrest further migration of the dissolved fuel hydrocarbon plume. ...

Petrox bioaugmentation was implemented at a former gas station UST removal site in Miami, Florida to destroy residual petroleum compounds in ground water. The UST and contaminated soil were removed. The residual ground water contamiantion, however, persisted and Petrox bioremediation was implemented to remove the residual low concentrations of MTBE, BTEX, naphthalene and ...

In-situ groundwater bioremediation is a technology that encourages growth and reproduction of indigenous microorganisms to enhance biodegradation of organic constituents in the saturated zone. In-situ groundwater bioremediation can effectively degrade organic constituents which are dissolved in groundwater and adsorbed onto the aquifer matrix. The Adventus In Situ Bioremediation/Groundwater ...

CASE SUMMARY Former Service Station - Bishop, CA Extensive methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) contamination was discovered within the subsurface as a result of leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) at a former service station. Following the removal of the leaking USTs, a total of 1,192 cubic yards of gasolineimpacted ...

Formulations which are patented non-ionic surfactant mixtures used in the in situ and ex situ treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, heavy metals, and more recently PAHs, PCBs and MTBE type contaminated waste are involved in Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation (SEB®) using Iveysol ®. These surfactant formulations have the ability to enhance soil biodegradation. During in ...

ABSTRACT: Application of bioremediation as an alternative technology to expedite soil and ground-water remediation has been effective in reducing the concentration of hydrocarbons at an affordable cost. Bioremediation processes can be achieved by the addition of biological organisms into the soil and ground water which are contaminated and are microorganism deficient. The microorganism's ...

A study was undertaken to determine the success for aerobic bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) in high temperature, saline groundwater conditions. The study included laboratory microcosm experiments, as well as a field trial in Saudi Arabia, in which Solinst Waterloo ...

Aerobic bioremediation with air sparging Site Description Underground storage tank (UST) leaks from a gas station contaminated shallow ground- water under the property. Following the removal of the leaking USTs and impacted soils around the tank cavity, combined air sparging and aerobic bioremediation was implemented to remediate the groundwater. Site ...
